Good morning! I've made a quick introduction video to my office pico tank. This little tank has quickly become my favorite. Only, because I don't get to see my home tank (28 gallon JBJ nanocube) as often! I'm starting this thread as a foundation for future updates and a place to request guidance/assistance. Thank you for stopping by!
Here's the video:
And here's some quick stats:
Set up in middle of February 2017
Back in the hobby after getting out in 2009. Still learning, taking it slower, being patient, bigger budget to do this correctly
Fluval Spec III, 2.6-gallon (freshwater) leaked, replaced by Imagitarium Pro 3.7 gallon in February 2018.
Kessil A80 with controller - never used stock lighting - tried to use ABI Tuna Blue 12w Par38 bulb
Rio Plus 180 (120 GPH) return pump – cut small holes in return line to promote circulation
Cobalt Neo-Therm 25 watt, temp set to 78
InTank media basket – filter floss – poly filter pad – BioMax bio rings – ChemiPure Blue 6.5 oz
Feed – Reef Roids, once a week – frozen brine shrimp, Monday, Wednesday and Friday
Water changes – daily, heavy on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, small amounts on Tuesday and Thursday 80% weekly changes
No interaction on the weekend and holidays
Use Aquarimate (on iOS) to track special incidents, livestock additions, parameters, and completed tasks
Rarely test parameters (other than salinity)
